Maka's into the second round of the 50K in Rome - Tiro A Volo!!! She beat Holland from Australia in three sets and plays (2)Nara in the next round tomorrow! She beat Kurumi in Stuttgart last year on clay in straights, so hopefully she can do it again!! Good luck Maka

I watched the match against Nara, and Maka just wasn't consistent enough Kurumi didn't do anything special at all, but her consistency outplayed Maka's streaky winner-error game. The worst part of the whole match: Maka's wasting of a few set points when she was 5-4 up in the second set Oh well.
